Moving to India
India is a beautiful country, but when it comes to moving there, it’s important to consider the best cities to live. While some Indian cities offer bursts of culture, others are perfect for those looking to step into the IT industry and continue to enjoy a more Westernised atmosphere. Here at Santa Fe Relocation, we’re taking a closer look at some of the best cities to live in India and their qualities, in order to ensure that you can make an informed decision when it comes to making that all-important move abroad.
Hyderabad
There are a number of reasons suggesting that Hyderabad is one of the best cities to live in India. Named as India’s most exciting city, Hyderabad offers an excellent quality of life compared to other cities throughout the country and it’s not difficult to see why! India’s growth is said to be driven by Hyderabad, making this particular city highly attractive to those wanting to be a part of one of the largest and richest states the country has to offer. Otherwise known as the City of Pearls, Hyderabad offers high-quality living standards, a fantastic culture and a noticeably lower crime rate compared to other parts of South Asia.
Bangalore
If you’re moving to India to experience better weather, Bangalore should certainly not be ruled out. Regardless of where in the world you currently live, when you move to Bangalore, you can rest assured that you will be greeted with tropical temperatures. In the summer time these can reach up to 36°C, but can fall below 17°C during the winter offering an excellent seasonal contrast, and not a day goes by that is too humid or too cold to stand. This is ideal for those who want to enjoy the warmer climate, but are unable to live in a country that boasts hot weather year-round. What’s more, when you live in Bangalore, the cost of rent, groceries and eating out is significantly less than what you will find in the likes of other popular destinations around the world such as Shanghai and Singapore, making it the perfect place for those who are seeking a reasonable cost of living without missing out.
Chennai
Then, there’s Chennai. As the fourth largest city in India, there are a number of reasons why moving here could be the perfect option for you. Chennai is home to a number of IT hubs and industries including the likes of Tidel Park, Olympia Tech Park and TEK Meadows, who work with clients such as Aviva, Ford and EDS. What’s more, if you’re looking to buy a home for a lower cost, you’re in luck as purchasing a home or villa in Chennai, will cost you considerably less than in other parts of the country such as Mumbai.
Mumbai
A list of the best cities in India wouldn’t be complete without the mention of Mumbai, so here it is! There are a number of reasons why Mumbai is considered to be one of the best cities to live in in India and if ‘Financial Capital Of India’, ‘Land of Bollywood’ or ‘The Maximum City’ rings a bell, then you may already know why. One of the major benefits of living in Mumbai is that you will not be required to know even a word of the regional languages spoken here. A large majority of people in the city speak English, so you won’t have any problems exploring the wide range of restaurants here or taking advantage of the multiple shopping opportunities. Mumbai also boasts a very welcoming expat community due to the vast number of job opportunities which have opened up in the city over the past decade.
